generic<\/a>
\nwith his worn out trainers?
\nIn his eyes you see no white cube
\nAnd held loosely at his side
\nYesterday’s funding form saying re-apply<\/p>\nSo how can you tell me you’re starving,
\nAnd say for you that the arts don’t provide?
\nLet me take you by the hand and lead you through the Arts of England
\nI’ll show you something to make you change your mind<\/p>\n
Have you seen the old brit artist
\nWho walks the streets of Hackney
\nDirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
\nShe’s no time for site-specifics,
\nShe just keeps right on walking
\nCarrying her home in two Tate Modern bags.<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
In his Chelsea flat
\nAt a quarter past eleven,
\nJeremy Hunt is sitting there on his own
\nLooking at the world
\nOver the rim of his decanter,
\nEach sip lasts an hour
\nAs he wonders what can be done<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
And have you seen the old employees
\nOutside the conceptualist’s mission
\nMemory sticks fading with
\nThe Muji clothes they wear.
\nIn our regenerated city,
\nThe foreign tourist cries a little pity
\nFor one more forgotten art-world
\nIn an international scene that doesn’t care<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
